>> i fought for this for years and years. you're having to live with my wants. show us an example of the card. what looks different and what looks the same? >> just like the old medicare cards, this new card is red, white and blue. you will see the person's name at the top like the old card. you'll see down here when the medicare coverage started and what their coverage includes. all that is the same. what's different is this number right here. it's an alpha numeric number and it replaces the social security number. >> okay. now i've got to ask. my social security number, i can rattle it right off. am i going to have to remember that? >> you don't have to remember this number. we are asking folks that when they receive this card in the mail, they protect it like a credit card. don't show it to anyone or reveal the number to anyone. keep this card with you and bring it to your doctors' appointments. your doctor and maybe the hospital, they will need in new

number in order to process your claim. >> they'll copy it down like an insurance card. >> correct, exactly. >> what do i do with the old card. it's very important. the old card has your social security number. you can't throw it away into the garbage. you need to shred it or cut it up as if it were an old credit card. >> they're coming in the mail. there's nothing anyone needs to do to get the new card. when you receive it in that same mailing will be instructions about how to use this new card and what to do with your old one. >> you talk about you don't need to do anything. that brings up the scam. you can put that down if you want. scammers are calling up saying you want the new card, it cost 50 bucks. >> unfortunately, you're right, michael. we've heard specific issues with people being called where the caller is asking for anywhere from $5 to $50 in order to send out the new card. >> please. >> that's not true. these cards are free.

there's another scam that we've heard about where people are me andsocial security number in or to process the new card. that also is not true. medicare, our agency, will never call anyone in order to ask for your personal information. so if you do receive one of these lls, we aresking people immediately hang up, and actually call us at 1-800-medicare to let us know what's going on. >> dr. ashley wolf, i appreciate your time. thanks for coming in. if you are confused or need help or want the tv number, call my hotline at the station and we'll connect you on. larry, ama, back to you. thank you so much, michael. facebook is rolling out new shows for you. the social media giant just announced half a dozen new programs on its watch tab. this included a series of called more in common. it's from station as cross the country. it will feature people from
